ADU in Los Angeles
When Harrison approached GO Home Builders about an unpermitted structure behind his garage on Midvale Avenue, he faced a common Los Angeles homeowner dilemma: invest in removing the structure or navigate the complex permitting process. Our team proposed a third option – converting his existing garage into a fully permitted Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). This solution not only addressed the compliance issue but also created valuable living space for Harrison’s frequent out-of-town family visitors.
As one of the leading ADU builders in Los Angeles, GO Home Builders excels at turning unpermitted structures into beautiful, functional living areas that add significant value to properties across LA County.

Rather than having loved ones book Airbnbs, they envisioned creating a dedicated guest space that would keep family close while providing privacy for everyone. The garage conversion ADU offered the perfect solution—a self-contained living unit with all the amenities of home.
The Process
The garage conversion process began with thorough planning and permitting, which is a critical step where we bring our expertise in creating the perfect ADU to every ADU in Los Angeles.
